1. Maybe it's because he passed for over 3300 yards, threw 26 TD passes, was intercepted only 6 times, and had a rating of 155.3. 2. Mariota looks like a good kid. Smart too. Got his Science degree in three and a half years.
I'm going to laugh at whatever team takes the rapist. He is going to flame out big time. Mariota worries me too but I think he's a good kid. He may have some early success in the nfl, but once he gets to the point where he needs to become a pocket passer, I really don't know if he will stay successful. We've been seeing this quite a bit and I'm not convinced mariota can be different
Well, mariota has declared but I'm still not sold that he will be a good nfl qb. His accuracy, ability to read, and his decision making are still question marks as far as I'm concerned.
